I've been tagged a bunch of time in this 25 Random Things About Me meme on Facebook. I was trying to ignore it, but I have to admit that I've been sucked into reading a few of my friend's 25 Lists, so I figured I'd pony up and write my own. I don't think I'm going to tag anyone though, because most people I know are pretty busy, and I don't need to be another thing on their "to do" list. Well, maybe I'll tag you if you have tagged me already, meaning, you have already written a list.1. My daughter was born on my birthday. Even better, my son was born on my husband's birthday. Our birthdays are all a week apart, April 23rd for the boys and April 30th for the girls. Mother Nature at her finest.
2. If you haven't already heard, my son Max has Autism. I am pretty much obsessed with helping him. I am incredibly optimistic that he will be okay, but I worry about him all the time.
3. Every time I see a clock at 1:11, 2:22, 3:33, 4:44, 5:55 or 11:11, I make a wish. My wish is always that Max will be okay.
4. I am not known for slowing down at yellow lights.
5. My favourite nickname is one my husband's friend Mike Nelson gave me: Nails.
6. Once I say I am going to do something, I typically complete it within a very short period of time.
7. My idea of a relaxing on a Friday night is installing new taps in all of my bathrooms. Stop laughing, I've done it.
8. I think about my weight too much and I beat myself up for thinking about it so much.
9. I have two degrees in music, but I don't like performing (it makes me feel incredibly anxious).
10. I would like to go back to school to get a degree in Music Therapy, as I believe that this is my true calling. There, now that I've said it, I will probably do it.
11. I think red heads are incredibly sexy, yet I have never dated one. In fact, my "type" tends to be tall, slim, brunettes with dark complexions. Go figure.
12. The majority of boys I had crushes on pre-University ended up being gay.
13. My husband is pretty much my complete opposite in every sense.
14. I am physically unable to get into an unmade bed.
15. I have more hobbies than I could possibly ever have time for (quilting, canning, crocheting, knitting, rug-hooking, teddy bear making...the list goes on). I look forward to the day that I can get back into these.
16. I would really like to take a life drawing class.
17. I have lived in Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, and Iowa, but Toronto is the only place that really feels like home.
18. Someday I will get laser eye surgery. I would also like a boob lift and tummy tuck.
19. I hope that my relationship with my daughter is as good as my relationship with my mom.
20. My next house will have an exquisite bathroom with a beautiful soaker tub and nobody will be allowed to use it except me.
21. When I was three, my pet budgy died, and I asked my mom if it was "okay if I wasn't sad?".
22. I am physically incapable of sleeping in the buff, I need my pajamas.
23. I don't usually laugh out loud, unless it is at someone else's expense (I know, MEAN!)...I'm working on it.
24. The older I get, the less I care what other people think about me. This is very liberating.
25. I am looking forward to going back to work in a few months, and I feel mildly guilty about this.
